Dear friends. Aloho m’barekh.
Let us pray that the intercession of the Saints will oblige us to grow ever greater (in loyalty to the Chiefs whom Providence has given us), in the unanimity of the Christian testimony.
Today, difficulties which I do not know the exact nature have arisen within the Patriarchal Church.
One thing is certain, we must, if we wish to amass with Christ, an entire loyalty to the chiefs whom Providence gives us; If not, we disperse with the opponent, the divisor …
Let us pray for the unanimity of the Testimony around our Chiefs and the reconciliation of all! ”The future is in peace and there is no future without peace,” said the Patriarch of Antioch in substance, expressing himself on the situation of the churches in India.
Let us think of all those enemies who, from the outside, rely on our divisions to spread terror or hinder freedom of conscience and worship.
In my opinion, all churches sharing the ancient but always invigorating Syriac Tradition should find (The Armenian Church shows us the good example because it succeeds in unanimously bringing together the churches that share its Tradition) a path To express more and more clearly the bond of love which unites them to their mother Church to all.
I invite you to pray for our fathers, their brotherhood; Especially at this time for the Patriarch of Anioche and All the East, who must face a rebelion.
Your faithfully devoted in Our Lord.
